queensland quick flick

[Neil Stratford]

Dug some wriggler worms on Tuesday afternoon , it was hot , and unfortunately for me ,the beach was covered in 6 inches of weed where I wanted to dig ,forcing me  to rake it off in order to get at the worms. Ended up getting enough  worms in about half an hour for a quick fish .

Headed down to the Pin on Thursday morning and fished the run up King Tide .

The fish were there but not in numbers I like ,but the quality of the whiting was excellent so I wasn’t complaining  .Also scored a lone Grunter which was a disappointment as I thought it was going to be a huge whiting . I tried to post a couple of photos in the usual way , but they still  don’t load .

Regards

Looks like a bit of fun Neil - and I would be happy with one whiting lol.  Our last two trips for whiting were an absolute bust.  Fingers crossed for tomorrow morning.

How big was the biggest whiting?

Hi Kat , the biggest two were 390 and 395mm . 

[Kat]

Awesome - great size to them then. Hopefully I can get a couple of 40 + tomorrow morning

Nice work Neil, I had the exact same idea and headed down the pin on Wednesday. Managed to get a couple of good feeds of some solid whiting. I did find the whiting a bit sensitive on the bite and wouldn't really commit to the bait. Were they the same when u were there or had they fired up a bit more for you.?

Well done Neil!
 

Does this mean photo uploads are working again?

Kat , Good luck tomorrow, make sure you take the Bushman”s if your fishing early or late , the sandflies were on the bite.

Doughnuts , yes they were a  bit tentative, just not many where I was fishing.

Greg , the photo issue  isnt rectified, I tried , but it didn’t work.

Got slammed by sandflies the moment I got out of the car at the ramp .  Didn't see your post till now.  Had repellant so all good once the initial itching faded.

Went up Coombabah creek first, pumped some yabbies first up and quickly realised there had been a fair amount of rain day before.  Too fresh - don't think we got any bites.  Made the decision to chase the salt water so left quickly to fish near the bar at jumpinpin - only caught the last hour or so of the run in.  Caught 5 whiting (only smallish), one small flattie and a couple of small Bream and angry little Tarwhine.  Once the tide turned there was nothing to be found anywhere.  Beautiful day on the water though. 

Better than being at work

Well done Kat , cannt complain about  a feed of whiting.
